According to tssaa.org, 31 private schools in D1 with 25 playing football. 39 schools in D2 with 29 playing football.

 

 

It seems very reasonable that privates can play diverse schedules with that many teams at each level, and never need to play a public. Who are the opponents to a split? Both public and private? TSSAA?

Some on here talk as if the problem isn't playing in different divisions for the postseason, it's that they're being "punished." My answer to that would be force the public schools go to Division II and move all the privates back to Division I with those remaining in the group. Nobody gets "punished."

So you are proposing 2 classifications? A DII which is public, and a DI which is private? Tiny schools like Celina playing in the same classification as schools like Riverdale? And Super 7 privates playing the likes of Lighthouse Christian? Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding what you are saying. If so, please set me straight.

Yes, I was being silly with the switching around of Division I and II schools. Being forced into a district or classification you may not like is nothing new and happens every year, Brainerd's basketball team was not pleased to be placed in a district with Polk County, Meigs, etc last year and the coach made a fuss about it in the paper. There were around 18 basketball teams in the Chattanooga area in AA, so some in Chattanooga had to go east tp 5AA, some had to go in 6AA with some teams west of Chattanooga. Being placed in a different classification is not too different than being in a different region as you'd hoped, in my view.

It would be possible (and perhaps easiest) to leave the regions just as they are now, add the private schools to the regions for regular season play only, and separate for the playoffs. It just seems that, if you are going to make a change of this magnitude, why not go back and let schools play their more traditional rivalries? This way, if you choose to travel 100 miles to play someone it is your choice to do so, not a mandate.

Coacht, with playing each other in the regular season, do you see any issues with playing a team that might be wanting and looking for ways to bring your players to their school?

Sure, there will be some of that. Each school would have to look at their own history and see who they want to play. If you set up the regions the way they are now, and add private schools to that, then the chance of having to play someone you don't prefer to play would be greater. Most schools will not have a probelm with it as long as they do not meet in the playoffs.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
